Lead Farmer

I Played DayZ for the first time last night after just finishing the ARMA 2 boot camp, I purchased it for this mod by the way. I spawned at night outside some village. Saw lots of zambies so I, having read the beginner's guide on this forum, crouch walked into town. I found multiple CZ-550's with ammo as well as food, drink, and bandages. At one point while looting I heard a zed drawing near so I laid down as he passed close enough that I could have tied his shoes. Then I crouched again and finished looting. I then luckily met up with a friend as I was traveling the coast. He being less cautious than myself had left Elektro after getting low on Makarov ammo after killing around fifteen zambies, though he still managed to find a watch, knife, and .45 ammo. We decided to go and retrieve the Winchester I had left behind in the village. By the time we got there there were even more zeds as well as the items changing. So we circled the place to find a good entrance route. Unfortunately he crouch ran too close to a zed and then fired repeatedly into the enraged beast as we escaped to a nearby shed to defend. In total we killed seven out of the 30-40 in view, due to only using pistols, not running about like mad, and having an escape plan. After we looted him a Winchester and various other goods. This was all fairly straight forward, and not particularly hard to accomplish. The only thing I can see wrong is the respawn rate of the zambies, and perhaps items. In addition to the bugs from ARMA of course, though those are obviously not Rocket's doing. People simply need to know when to cut their losses, learn when to "hold'em and fold'em" folks.
